Kit Tan has the honour of being the only artist to win the prestigious United Overseas Bank Group Painting of the Year Competition twice, first in 1997, and then again in 2004. Her work brings across an acute sensitivity and attention to detail. Drawing inspiration from writers as diverse as Zhuang Zi, her new series explores the issue of women and femininity in the 21st century.
